GPO Mar 22 2020
Chang, Edmond)MEMORANDUM Opinion and Order signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 3/22/2020: For the reasons discussed in the Opinion, the dismissal motions of the individual sorority members (Anderson, Brown, Chambers, Clemons, Smith, Valdez, Greenwell, and Madlock-Henderson) are denied. 63 65 68 94 The motion 97 to dismiss filed by Delta Chi Omega is also denied, as is Allstate's motion 137 to intervene. But the motion 57 to dismiss filed by AKA National and Walker-Steele are both granted, though the dismissal is without prejudice for now. If Hankins believes that she can fix the deficiencies in the First Amended Complaint, then she may propose a Second Amended Complaint by 04/24/2020. Absent a motion for leave to file a Second Amended Complaint, the dismissal will convert to a dismissal with prejudice as to those two defendants. The Court reminds Plaintiff that Gamma Chi has not yet been served and so is not formally a party to this case. The status hearing of 04/03/2020 is reset to 04/29/2020 at 10 a.m. The remaining parties (Hankins, the individual sorority members, and Delta Chi Omega) shall confer and file a proposed discovery schedule by 04/24/2020, so that discovery can get going in this case.
